The present book is a joint effort made by contributors for their understanding of the Fungi. It takes a systems approach and provides a means to share the latest developments and advances in the exploitation of fungal products, including their traditional uses, modern practices, and designing strategies to harness their potential. We have presented the latest information lesson and well-defined topics concisely. We have put in much hard work to make the matter neither too elaborate so that we do not lose the interest of students nor too concise to leave vital topics uncovered. All lessons are written in simple language and are easy to understand, even for beginners. Table of Contents..
